    Morning all.

    Well the transfer has gone into my A and L account so I will be transfering some of that back in a few days.

    I've been really good with food and I am hoping for a loss this week, although I have said that before and nothing has come off, we shall see. I'm also being really good with money. I'm trying not to spend anything and have started to realise that I don't NEED things I just WANT them. The only thing I am really going to need is a winter coat, but I am hoping to get away with that one for a little while longer.

    Anyway I need to do some work today so will finish here, will be about during the day so will pop by when I can.

    Have fun x

    Also...

    My aunt came down at the weekend with loads of my cousins old books, Mum and I are going to read the ones that interest us and then list them on Amazon and split the money between us!

    Hopefully we'll make a reasonable amount!

    Chocolate or Shortbread, I'm not fussed really, I just love food!

    But I do feel much calmer this week which can only be a good thing, I just really want to pick up my new glasses now and get my contacts checked as I think that might be why I have been having headaches recently.

    I'm not sure OH is all the fussed about the job, it sounds like a strange interview, the person he was told to see was in a meeting so he ended up seeing someone else who didn't seem to know what he was doing!

    But we shall see.

  • Oh dear, that does not bode well. I’m not sure I’d accept a job in that company- very unprofessional altogether!!

  • That's his thinking, what doesn't help is there seems to be some confusion over the pay. The advert said one thing and the guy yesterday said another, they also want him to go in for one day to 'do the job' and see if he likes it, but they aren't willing to pay him!!

    Just seems like a way of getting free labour to me, but he is going to keep looking and see if there is anything else out there that he fancies.

  • That does seem very strange! Probably best forgotten by your OH as you have no idea how chaotic they could be and may very well forget the important stuff like getting him on the payroll!

    Morning!

    Well I have just set up the transfer back from A and L and paid off 1/2 my OD, I don't want to over stretch myself and it is interest free so I'm not to worried about it, hopefully I'll do really well for the rest of the month and be able to paid it off in October. Well that's the plan anyway!

    Other than that not much to report really, I'm still being good with my food and feel much better for it, I am slowly getting some Christmas shopping done and my Friend's Stocking present is looking good (we decided on doing stockings for each other this year)

    I have £14 in Pigsback and I'm thinking I will get one Blockbuster voucher for Friend's stocking (will go with small bag of popcorn) and perhaps a Boot's voucher which can help towards other gifts! I do like this organised, fuzzy feeling I'm getting with all of these vounchers. I'm well on the way to a good Lightspeed total to and will hopefully have an Amazon voucher from there very soon.

    I'm having an 'I love MSE' day today... :iloveyou: That and the boiler people are at home and hopefully we'll have hot water by the end of the day :T

    So all is good with the world, although I have loads of work to do today!! Does it never stop!!!!!:confused:

    Have fun :kisses3:
